Experimental modeling of the interaction between materials of plant-adsorptive plots and atmospheric

The article presents evaluation results of metal accumulation processes by filtering containers based on mining waste. Serpentine-reached grainy material (an enrichment product of phlogopite mining waste) was used for sorbing heavy metals from atmospheric precipitation. It has been established that the serpentine-reached grainy material is characterized by useful sorption features with respect to heavy metals and high content of calcium, magnesium and silicon.

Enrichment of target sequences for next-generation sequencing applications in research and diagnostics

Targeted re-sequencing such as gene panel sequencing (GPS) has become very popular in medical genetics, both for research projects and in diagnostic settings. The technical principles of the different enrichment methods have been reviewed several times before; however, new enrichment products are constantly entering the market, and researchers are often puzzled about the requirement to take decisions about long-term commitments, both for the enrichment product and the sequencing technology. This review summarizes important considerations for the experimental design and provides helpful recommendations in choosing the best sequencing strategy for various research projects and diagnostic applications.
